CRUMMY SEQUELS

The god of similes is the last 

to leave the earth 

only because 

he’s such a lazy bastard. 

Each Argonaut eventually 

consents to electroshock therapy. 

Adam forms 

the shed snakeskin 

into a masturbation sleeve. 

Prolonged contact with 

my body may cause you to 

flip me off. 

My love is like a 

deep-fried Snickers. 

Blood drips onto the 

velvet turquoise couch. 

The law is the law. 

Everyone has a skeleton 

in their heart.
